New Look

  • Mar. 3rd, 2008 at 11:00 AM

Ya'll might notice that Epic Recs looks *very* different than it did yesterday.  I personally loved the old layout, but unfortunately it didn't have an automatic tag list on the sidebar and, since Mei and I spent all of last week tagging *every* *single* *entry*, we really needed something flexible enough to handle a long and ever growing list of tags.  Thus, the new layout.  Let me know if there's any improvements you'd like to see in the color or presentation as I'm still tweaking this week.  After that, I anticipate a looong stretch before any more major changes.

The good news: we now have every entry tagged for fandom, length, pairing, and (best of all) genre!  It's lead to some interesting results:

Top five fandoms by number of recs:
The Sentinel (32)
Stargate: Atlantis (32)
Due South (22)
Smallville (17)
Highlander (16)

Top five genres by number of recs:
Angst (88!)
AU (44)
Humor (34)
Hurt/Comfort (24)
Fluff (23)

Length: (these made me very happy, as I've feared that I hadn't been able to find enough epic stories to justify the comm's name)
Epic (72) huzzah!
Long (48)
Medium (32)
Short (7)

And now I must go and continue to pimp [livejournal.com profile] fanficfinder, *sob*.  Next time I decide to start a new comm?  Stop me.

The problem is that I feel so...shameless when I pimp a comm, so I'm limiting myself to newsletters, which doesn't seem to be working. On the other hand, the comm is answering most of my questions, so I'm pretty happy with it:)

You've been quiet for a while. Crazy busy?

Not crazy busy just trying to caught up on RL stuff that I didn't do last year because I was down 12 weeks with my back. I try to do too much too fast and it gets to me. That's why I'm impressed with all you do for fan fiction on LJ so many comms, excellent writing. 2 talents I wish I had but don't. My gifts go a different direction.

Thank you:) Though I have to admit, I'm feeling pretty ragged around the edges.

Good to hear that your back is better:)
